Tuesday Tot Craft Time: Birthday Cards

The library has been going through their craft bin and pulling out different projects that they have a lot of. Today was a mega craft day there. They had 5 different craft projects available to do. We made 4 of them. The 5th one was a flag for Veterans Day. Three people in our family have birthdays coming up, so these will become great birthday cards. It saves me some money and a shopping trip as well. Of course the two birthday cake papers will become cards, and the fire truck will be one as well. The 3 ladybugs will get laminated and become a bookmark Christmas present. I want to add something to the ice cream cone. Maybe some pictures or glitter sprinkles.

I'm thinking of putting together another kids' craft bin. I use to have one when we lived in California. My oldest son loved it. However I had to donate it to a preschool when we moved to MA several years ago. It would be nice to have one again. It mainly had paper scraps and stickers in it. A lot of the paper was die-cut, which was fun. Basically it made for quick and easy card and collage making.
